Bordering Iowa and Minnesota, Sioux Falls refers to itself as the “Heart of America.” It is located at the junction of Interstates 90 and 29 on the banks of the Big Sioux River. As South Dakota’s largest city, it is within a day’s drive of most major Midwestern cities. It's located two hours north of Omaha and five hours east of Rapid City, SD. The Sioux Falls (FSD) airport (Website: http://www.sfairport.com/ ) is located in the northern part of the city. There are rental car counters for Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, National, and Alamo. Sioux Falls has a bus transit system, but none of the routes stop at the airport (Transit Website: http://www.siouxfalls.org/sam ). There is also a free Trolley that operates from mid-April to mid-October. For things to do, visiting Falls Park near downtown is popular (Websites: http://www.travelsd.com/Attractions/Falls-Park and http://visitsiouxfalls.com/visitors/things-to-do/falls-park/ ). Also, the Pettigrew Home and Museum is a popular attraction (Website: http://www.siouxlandmuseums.com/museums/index.asp ). We didn't eat in Sioux Falls, but here's a website for restaurants original to the city: http://visitsiouxfalls.com/visitors/places-to-eat/original-to-sioux-falls/#1 .
Enjoy!
